Scrapbook Day

I get a ton of white card stock scraps from work that they are going to throw into the recycling bin. I like to use them in my scrapbooking, but I get tired of plain stark white. How can I age, or stress, this card stock to give it some character?

Take a small sponge, like a make-up one, or one from a craft store. Smear it on an ink-pad, like brown, or tan,or any color really. Smear the ink on the paper in circular motions in the center and outward motions near the edge, so that the edge is slightly darker. It is a really neat effect, and you can do it once you get your paper cut down to your desired size and shape.

I need bigger posts for scrapbooking. I dont like the extensions, they get week. Can you but larger posts at homedepot?

I doubt it and I know I saw some somewhere – can’t remember. Maybe scrapbook.com?

Just a quick comparison between the new pink ATG gun and the ATG 714 gun. Hope this helps! www.mypinkstamper.com.

I’m creating a yearbook and am wondering what a good free digital scrapbooking website would be to make these yearbook pages on.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Try Picabo. It’s a neat site! You download the software to your PC so you don’t have to be on-line to create a book. It’s free to download, and create but you need to purchase the book when you are ready to print it.

This layout utilizes heat embossing for a fun polka dot background paper and a shape cutting to cool to create extra dimension. I hope you enjoy it & thanks for watching!

I’m not looking for totes or anything for portable scrapbooking. I want to build a scrapbooking work center in my home office. What are the best products (shelving, cubes, etc) to use? And where can I find them? Thank you for your help!

Brand new in my Micheal’s store this month are Making Memories cubes, drawers (2) and turntable table top organizers. The cubes and drawers fit together and stack together. All are white and are made of MDF. Prices are good but the cubes only have 2 or 3 compartments. They also have a huge, lovely, white wall shelf. It’s a bout 4 inches deep and holds jars and stuff with 2 paper towel like holders for ribbon spools to spin freely on. Looks really nice. That’s what I would do but depending on how your paper is organized, you may need lots of cubes to separate colours etc. Good luck!

Create this adorable 4″x4″ mini scrapbook with pockets. Step by step instructions make it easy.

Visit my website www.thestampgoddess.myctmh to order any of the CTMH products shown on this video, including the Foundry Frames, item #Z4128. $4.95 for two frames.
